I know I'm super late but I had to share my favorite polishes from last year. I never used to paint my nails, but in the past year I've become obsessed. I paint my nails at least 2 or 3 times a week. These aren't in order as i could barely limit myself to 13. With that said, lets get into the list!

1. China Glaze in Electrify

-a red and gold glitter packed polish. Needs 3 coats but looks absolutely stunning.

2.Sinful Colors in Shock and Awe

-a deep yet bright indigo shade.

3. Essie in The Lace Is On

-one of my only Essie polishes; a purple-pink duochrome color.

4. Zoya Pixiedust in Carter

-my definition of the perfect purple polish. Plus its textured!

5.Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet

-a pastel mint shade. I love the Xtreme Wear line!

6. Finger Paints in Laugh My Art Off

-another textured polish; a sparkly turquoise!

7. Sinful Colors in Pinky Glitter

-the name says it all! A glitter filled, pink jelly polish.

8. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Celeb City

-a metallic silver with little specks of shimmer.

9. Candie's in Electric Iris

-a dark lavender creme shade.

10. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Pacific Blue

-a bright, cobalt blue.

11. Pure Ice in Superstar

-a basic white polish. I've found that some whites can be difficult to work, but I really like this one.

12. L.A Colors in Summertime

-a bubblegum pink. It's fairly sheer but is mostly opaque in 3 coats.

13. L'Oreal Color Riche in Orange You Jealous?

-speaking of summertime, this coral color is perfect for summer!

I'm sorry this went up so late, but hey at least its not February. That counts for something, right?

#2014BloggerChallenge | The Skincare Tag!

This week's topic is skincare and to be honest my skincare routine is boring! I cleanse, moisturize, and all that jazz. I've seen a few people do this tag lately and figured it'd be perfect for this topic!

The questions:

Describe your skincare routine in 5 words:

Quick and Easy. Forever Changing.

What’s your skin type?

Combination!

What’s your favourite skin care product?
I love the Ponds Dry Skin Cream! It's so moisturizing without feeling greasy!

Top blemish zapper:
St. Ives Blemish Control Scrub is the bomb! It's not as harsh as some of the other scrubs I've tried but still really effective!

Face wipes, yay or nay?
They're good for a quick clean but my skin feels so much better when I actually wash it.

Toner, yay or nay?
Nope! I'm actually looking for one at the moment!

High-end skin care or high-end make-up?

High-end makeup! I feel like there's so many good drugstore skincare products!

What’s the most unusual skin care product you've tried?
I haven't tried anything really unusual.

Tell us your top skincare tips:

-Be Consistent!

-Make it fun!

-Keep it simple!

Hope you enjoyed! I tag you all!
